This scale offers a possible alternative to [[19edo|19edo]] as a way of expanding beyond 12edo. Unlike 19edo, whose fifths are all significantly flat, the 1953 scale has nearly perfect fifths, making it sound potentially more like 12edo. Its major thirds are also significantly better than those of 19edo. | This scale offers a possible alternative to [[19edo|19edo]] as a way of expanding beyond 12edo.
